The expulsion of Russian diplomats from commemorative ceremonies in honor of the anniversary of the liberation of prisoners from Nazi camps causes deep regret and disappointment, the Russian Embassy in Berlin reported on April 19 through official sources.
Russian diplomats reacted in this way to the position of the German government, according to which the presence of Russian representatives at such events is considered undesirable.
“This position causes deep regret and disappointment. Dictated by considerations of the current political situation, it completely ignores the historical context, goes against the German culture of memory, contributes to the erosion of the post-war reconciliation process between Russians and Germans and does not correspond to the spirit of the successful long-term cooperation of our countries in the field of military monuments.”the embassy said.
Embassy representatives clarified that within the framework of the Victory Day celebration they will continue to honor the memory of the Soviet soldiers who liberated the world and Germany from fascism, as well as the prisoners. “Hitler’s death factories”.
Let us remember that on April 18, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, reported on this action by the German authorities and described it as a “provocation.” In her opinion, Germany is extending anti-Russian political tension to areas that cannot be politicized, including the results of World War II.
